Ghana: CBOD Donates Projectors To University Of Cape Coast’s Faculty Of Arts

The Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors (CBOD) has donated some projectors to the Faculty of Arts Department of the University of Cape Coast in the Central Region of the Republic of Ghana.

This follows a request from the Faculty to the Chamber for assistance to procure projectors in order to help improve teaching and learning.

Presenting the items on behalf of the board and management, CEO of CBOD, Senyo Hosi said in the age of digitalisation, it has become necessary for teaching institutions to use modern technologies.

“We need to have our students and lecturers build on their presentation skills effectively with modern technology,” he said.

Dean of the Faculty Professor Prof. Kwame Osei Kwarteng, who led a delegation from the UCC’s Faculty of Arts to receive the items in Accra, the capital of Ghana, expressed gratitude to the CBOD.

“We are in the fourth industrial revolution, so now is the time that there is the need for us to use this equipment [projectors, computers, laptops, ipads, etc.] so that it can enhance teaching, learning and research. We don’t have them in our departments. Since I became the Dean, I made it one of my visions to ensure we get it. “Financially, we were constrained and fortunately, we invited you to attend our roundtable discussion and I put this before you and you have graciously responded. It was Covid that delayed but better late than never. We are going to put it to proper use.”

Senyo Hosi encouraged corporate Ghana to lend their support to academia to help in developing the skills of Ghana’s youth with the right resources.

He also commended the UCC for its strides in education.

In 2019, Senyo Hosi participated in a roundtable discussion organised by UCC on the topic: ‘Preparing Graduates for the World of Work: The role of Universities’.
